"There's nothing more incredible! I am honoured to have incredible support. My origin story of really knowing the connection I was privileged to be a part of was Ellen's 'Puppy Episode.' It's so crazy that it wasn't that long ago."
"In fact, a letter from a grandmother who was thanking Ellen and I for helping her get closer to and understand her grandson was one of my favourite letters that I ever received,"
"We can work together to open up a sense of compassion and empathy that sadly is not there from those who live in fear. To be welcomed into community, for me, has been the greatest gift ever! For us as producers, we want you to be happy! That means the world."
